Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Amid the busy and intensive preparations, the three days passed in a flash.

In the early morning, a Citroen sedan with a unique appearance parked steadily at the gate of the Henan Provincial Military Command. The smooth body lines and the herringbone logo embedded in the front grille attracted the attention of all the soldiers passing by.

It turns out that most men can't resist a nice car.

Soon, this Citroen gained a heavyweight fan.

"Wow, it's French! Huang He, you have really good connections. This thing has probably been discontinued in its place of origin. How did you get it? Can you make me one too?"

"If that doesn't work, I'll trade you the Studebaker I just seized a while ago."

Since he drove a Citroën, French cars have become the favorite of the brigade commander. There is no way, because that truck is the white moonlight that has accompanied the 386th Brigade through hardships.

Looking at the whole country, it is estimated that only the Jiefang brand produced by its own Baotou No. 1 Machine Factory can surpass the French products.

As for why U23 is at the brigade headquarters instead of at the base of the former New nd Regiment or the st Marine Brigade?

Friends, please learn about telecommunications fraud.

Facing the brigade commander's burning and eager eyes, Huang He nodded without hesitation. He first opened the back door for Xu, Nie, and Chen, then sat back in the driver's seat and said:
"I got this car by chance. If I hadn't bought it, it would have been sitting in a warehouse collecting dust for the rest of its life, and would eventually be scrapped."

"Since the brigade commander likes it, I will give it to you as a favor."

"After all, it's not convenient for me to take this car back to Suiyuan, so I'd better let it shine in your hands."

Hearing this, the brigade commander immediately showed an expression of great joy. He couldn't wait to explore the functions of the vehicle, and his face revealed a bit of eager anticipation.

This is because I didn’t have a camera with me, otherwise a certain classic photo taken in 1948 would have been released in Henan Province in advance.

Looking at the two people in the car, the fifth division junior who was resting with his eyes closed in the passenger seat suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at the slightly awkward interior and mechanical devices and complained in a low voice:
"Brigade Commander, Senior, it's just a Citroen, what do you like about it?"

"In my opinion, fuel vehicles will be eliminated by the tide of the times sooner or later. Perhaps in the near future, vehicles with unconventional power will be the mainstream choice."

The teasing from his junior student made Huang He’s thoughts instantly return to his previous life.

Before crossing over, he had come into contact with all kinds of family cars, including luxury cars worth millions. But only Citroen left an indelible impression on him.

I remember that day was an ordinary Saturday. Huang opened the video website out of boredom and casually clicked on the headline with the most views on the homepage.

In the video, a Citroen Visa Gti drove from the hangar of the Clemenceau-class aircraft carrier to the flight deck, and was finally catapulted into flight together with the flagship aircraft carrier.

The moment it fell into the water, the car, which should have sunk to the bottom of the sea, was miraculously lifted out of the water by the Agosta-class submarine.

Huang He had just entered high school at that time.

In that era when the Liaoning was still under construction and improvement in the dock, the country's second-generation submarine force had not yet fully formed combat effectiveness, and domestically produced cars had not yet officially emerged, this advertisement had a great impact on him.

From that day on, Citroen became the magic car in Huang He's heart until he drove it once himself.

After a brief reminiscence, Huang He's thoughts returned to reality. Considering that he had something important to do later, he started the car while saying to his junior:

"You don't understand, junior, fuel-powered cars are the romance of men."

"Look at my Citroen. It has a load-bearing all-steel body, hydraulic brakes and a double wishbone suspension system. Who else but the French would install these technologies on civilian cars?"

"As for unconventional power? That's for the future. It's a bit too early to consider it now."

"Okay, okay, you are right."

Amidst the laughter and jokes, the five of them officially set off for the Second Branch School in the south of the city. On the way, the brigade commander kept chatting with the brothers Huang and Qian, sharing what they had seen and heard in recent months.

As if sensing something was wrong, Huang He looked through the rearview mirror at the infantry expert and army reorganization expert who had not spoken for a long time, and then asked with concern:
"Boss Xu, Boss Nie, are you all right? Didn't you get enough rest these days?"

"We'll be at school soon. Do you want to catch up on some sleep? The brigade commander and I will take care of anything that comes up. You can go on stage after the opening ceremony officially begins."

Three days is neither long nor short.

It’s long because Huang He has nothing to do, so he has been shopping and relaxing these days.

The reason is that the two deputy division commanders need to make a lot of preparations before the start of the school. After all, the professors and students of the Second Branch School come from all over the world, and no one can guarantee whether there are spies among them. Nowadays, the enemies in the border area are not just the devils, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are enemies on all sides.

These agents, either overt or covert, will certainly find ways to infiltrate and sabotage the Henan Provincial Military Region.

Therefore, for the two bosses, how to do a good job of prevention before the start of school and how to identify spies without negatively affecting the talents who come to the second branch are all things they need to deal with.

Hearing Huang He's concerned inquiry, the infantry expert nodded tiredly.

"Don't worry, we have our own arrangements."

"If it were in the past, Lao Nie and I might have to hurry up and try to rest for a while. But now, our bodies and energy can definitely handle it."

Compared with the original timeline, the current physical condition of the bosses can be described as a complete transformation.

Thanks to the 24-hour care of the medical team, even the brigade commander who had heart problems experienced the feeling of health after a long time.

"Okay, then you two elders should take it easy and don't try to be stubborn."

"CG's labor force is a waste if it's not used. If you need anything, just ask us."

"OK."

······
After a 20-minute drive, the brigade commander and his entourage finally arrived at their destination. They first parked the Citroen at the back playground of the Second Branch School, and then split into two groups and headed straight for the auditorium.

Since he couldn't help much, Huang He simply took his junior to the backstage and waited for the ceremony to start before sitting down to watch.

While waiting, Huang He glanced at the Fifth Master, who was smiling like an auntie, and then joked:

"The atmosphere of the Second Branch reminds you of your school days. Since you like it here, would you like to consider taking time out every month to attend classes?"

"You've always mentioned manned space flight. Given our current ages and physical conditions, it's unlikely that we'll ever go into space ourselves, but students can."

"Isn't it cool that your students are re-entering the atmosphere?"

Huang He's imagination almost made Wu Shi choke on his own saliva. However, when he thought of the scene just described by his senior, his face showed a different look.

In order to attract a heavyweight professor to the second branch and to allow his younger students to go out more often, Huang He decided to increase the investment.

"If you want to buy osmanthus flowers, you will end up buying wine. It's not like a young man's trip. It's better to act than to think. After all, you won't have many days to show your face in public."

"By the way, I met a very interesting student on the street yesterday. His last name is Yu, he is only 16 years old this year, and he is very talented in physics. Let's go meet him together later."

Hearing this, the Fifth Master fell silent and began to weigh the pros and cons in his mind.

In fact, he really wanted to come out to teach, but the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau was too far away from Henan Province. Even by plane it would take several hours to go back and forth, and every trip would delay the progress of the experiment.

With no one to chat with him, Huang He suddenly felt a little bored.

He took out a mechanics textbook from the Second Branch School from his backpack and sang for his own amusement while filling in the gaps.

“Who am I in the vast sea of ​​people? Who am I among the surging waves? In the army conquering the universe, I am the one who silently dedicates myself.”

"I don't need you to know me, and I don't want you to know me."

When Huang He was immersed in his own singing and the sea of ​​books, a man in a black formal suit and with a meticulously styled hairstyle quietly walked into the backstage.

He kept a distance of more than ten meters from the Huang and Qian brothers, and only coughed lightly after listening to the entire song to announce his arrival.

"Huang He, long time no see."

"What's the title of the song just now? Although its lyrics and music do not use advanced techniques, the overall expression is full of affectionate feelings for the country and the nation."

"If possible, I would like to exchange creative experience with that comrade. Maybe, my realm can be raised to a higher level."

As soon as these words came out, Huang He, who was still enjoying himself, immediately turned around and saw a handsome guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, greeting him with a smile.

"Old Xian! Didn't you go to the north? When did you come back? Why didn't you send a telegram to let me know? Have you finished the music work for that documentary?" (End of this chapter)
